Providing career exploration interventions introduces an intentional learning that allows children to develop a higher level of career awareness and increase their aspirations for the future. Evidence suggests that children from low-income contexts are more likely to drop out of school and show lower educational aspirations. This process involves cognitive and affective activities. Through career exploration, children can (re)construct the emotions derived from the interactions between personal and contextual factors by giving meaning to life experiences. Through it, children explore the interplay between their different life roles, including those related to work (in a broad sense), learning, and education.


Children’s career exploration is a critical aspect of career development.
